Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
95 Blue Creek Trail
Eagle County, Colorado
Eagle County Permit OWTS-020827-2021
Brad,
CBO Inc. observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) on October 12 and
25, 2022 for the subject property. Skyline Excavating installed the system.
The OWTS design is based on 4-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 525 GPD was used.
The system installation included a 1500-gallon, two-compartment poly Infiltrator® septic tank with an
Orenco® Biotube Effluent Filter on the outlet tee followed by a 500-gallon Infiltrator® pump chamber with
an Orenco® ProPak and PF3005 pump. The effluent filter in the pump chamber must be cleaned
annually, or as needed. The floats were set to dose approximately 70 gallons each pump cycle. The
control panel is located within line of sight of the septic tank, mounted on the exterior of the residence.
Valley Precast out of Buena Vista performed start up on the pumping system.
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. The ADV was placed at a high point in the system in an insulated riser
with access from grade.
A change was made to the soil treatment area (STA) after it was discovered that soils in the proposed STA
were classified as R-1.
Effluent is pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to three 7’ x 32’ beds. A minimum of
2-feet of sand filter material was installed under GeoMat™ sheets.
Laterals were 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 2-feet on center,
installed on the GeoMat™ with the filter fabric over the laterals. Two 39” wide GeoMat™ were placed on the
7-foot wide bed.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral ends in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves were
placed in a 10-inch sprinkler box for access. Inspection ports were placed in each corner of both beds.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS
in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations.
LIMITS:
Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must
have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in
which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent on the expertise of the installer, soil
type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.

Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
4-Bedroom Residence
95 Blue Creek Trail
Eagle County, Colorado
Brad,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater
treatment system (OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 4.46-acre property is located outside of
Basalt, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. The site plan has been updated since our
original design dated October 15, 2017, in addition to changes in the regulation that necessitated the
design to be updated. Plans dated October 15, 2017 should be discarded and replaced with these dated
November 29, 2020.
Legal Description: Subdivision: MOUNTAIN MEADOW RANCH FIL 1 Lot: 12
BK-0277 PG-0410 MAP 10-30-78
Parcel ID: 2391-271-05-003
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is currently undeveloped and a 4-bedroom, single-family residence is proposed.
A private well will serve the residence potable water. The well is located greater than 50-feet from the
proposed septic tank and greater than 100-feet from the proposed soil treatment area (STA).
The proposed STA slopes to the south at approximately 20%. The area is vegetated with native grasses
and sage.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on July 28, 2017 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits).
Visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.1 CTL Thompson
was also present to view and sample soils for the foundation. CTL Thompson’s report, Project No.
GS06158.000-120 dated September 6, 2017, is enclosed.
STA location will be in the area of Test Pit #2 and sizing is based on Soil Type 2. A long term
acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.6 gallons per square foot, will be used to design the OWTS, in
accordance with Table 10-1 Soil Type 2 presented in the Eagle County On-Site Wastewater
Treatment System Regulations, adopted May 13, 2014.
Test Pits observed July 28, 2017
Test Pit #1
Test Pit #1 very rocky with backhoe refusal at approximately 4 to 5 feet below grade (near foundation)
Test Pit #2
Test Pit #2 less rocky, digging successful to approximately 6-feet below grade before refusal

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms + 75 GPD (4th bedroom) = 525 GPD
LTAR = 0.6 GPD/SF
525 GPD / 0.6 GPD/SF x 1.0 (pressure dosed beds) x 0.7 (chambers) = 613 SF
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation as finished floor of the residence has been
established as 100’ (7283’ 4”). CBO Inc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade
elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
OWTS Component Minimum Elevation
Primary Tank Inlet Invert Approx. horizontal distance 40’ / min. 2% fall / min.
10” fall to septic tank
Automatic Distributing Valves (ADVs) Approx. horizontal distance 19’ / min. 1% rise for
drain back / min. 2.375” rise
Infiltrative Area (to highest trench) Approx. horizontal distance 22’ / min. 1% fall / min.
2.75” fall
The OWTS design is based on 4-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 525 GPD will be used.
The system installation will include a 1500-gallon, two-compartment poly Infiltrator® septic tank with an
Orenco® Biotube Effluent Filter on the outlet tee followed by a 500-gallon Infiltrator® pump chamber with
an Orenco® ProPak and PF3005 pump. The floats must be set to dose approximately 70 gallons each
pump cycle. The control panel must be located within line of sight of the septic tank. We
recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista perform start up on the pumping system.
Pump Table
Dose Range Max = 133 gal. (525 GPD x 25%
+ 2 gal drain back)
Min. 52 gal. (13 gal x 4) + 2 gal
drain back
Dose Setting 70 gallons/dose 2 gallons drain back (20’ / 1.5”
diameter pump line)
Float Separation 500-gallon pump chamber 5.5” on/off float separation
Pump Criteria 18.9 gallons per minute (GPM) 16 feet total dynamic head (TDH)
PVC risers must be installed on the tanks to bring access to grade. Enclosed specifications detail the
riser, lids, and tank adapter. Handle extensions on both the effluent filter and float tree must be installed
if the riser height exceeds 1-foot.
Page 4
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line must be installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. This pump line must have a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back
into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed at a high point in the system and be placed in
an insulated riser with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the
ADV and to assure the clear pipes existing the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Effluent will be pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter pipes to three gravelless chamber beds, each
with 2 rows of 10 ‘Quick 4’ Low Profile Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 60 chambers and 720 square
feet of infiltrative area. It should be noted that we kept sizing based of the STA based on 600 GPD rather
than 525 GPD. There must be at least 6-feet of undisturbed soil between each bed. Chambers may
not be placed more than 2-feet below native grade. Mounding over chambers may be necessary
to achieve a minimum of 1-foot of cover over chambers.
A level 1.5-inch diameter manifold will connect laterals in each bed. Effluent will be pressure dosed to
1.5-inch diameter laterals, which must be hung with zip ties from the underside of the chambers. Laterals
will have 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing up, with the exception of the first and last holes facing down
for drainage. Orenco® Orifice Shields may be placed under each downward-facing orifice. The orifices
must be placed 3-feet on center. Each lateral must end in a 90 degree ell facing up with a ball valve for
flushing. Valves may be placed in a valve box, accessible from grade, for access. Inspection ports must
be placed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve
box for access.
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
Alternatives may be considered or recommended by contacting our office. Construction must be
according to Eagle County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the OWTS Permit provided
by Eagle County Environmental Health Department, and this design.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irritation shall be placed over
the area. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing fixtures should be
checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a running toilet or
leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. If the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
Page 5
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
If design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be
performed before backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices,
pumps, dosing siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. ALL SERVICE septic,
LLC should be notified 48 hours in advance to observe the installation.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. If soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified. All OWTS construction must be
according to the county regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable
county regulations. The contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the
requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors
may be required by county regulation.
Please call with questions.

Residential Biotube® Effluent Filters
Applications
Our patented* 4-in. (100-mm) Biotube Effluent Filters, Biotube Jr., Biotube
Insert Filters, and Biotube Base Inlet Filters are ideal for residential septic
tanks and have a lifetime warranty. They prevent large solids from leaving
the tank, dramatically improving wastewater quality and extending the life
of residential drainfields.
Standard Features & Benefits
• Alarm available, to
signal the need for
cleaning
• Flow modulating
discharge orifices
available to limit
flow rate leaving
tank, mitigat-
ing surges and
increasing
retention time
• Custom and
commercial sizes
available
Effluent from the
relatively clear zone
of the septic tank,
between the scum
and sludge layers,
horizontally enters
the Biotube Effluent
Filter. Effluent then
enters the annular
space between the
housing and the
Biotubes, utilizing
the Biotubes’ entire
surface for filtering.
Particles larger than
the Biotube’s mesh
are prevented from
leaving the tank.

Biotube® ProPak Pump Package™
Technical Data SheetOrenco®
60-Hz Series Pump Packages General
Orenco’s Biotube® ProPak™ is a complete, integrated pump package for
filtering and pumping effluent from septic tanks. And its patented pump
vault technology eliminates the need for separate dosing tanks.
This document provides detailed information on the ProPak pump vault
and filter, 4-in. (100-mm) 60-Hz turbine effluent pump, and control panel.
For more information on other ProPak components, see the following
Orenco technical documents:
• Float Switch Assemblies (NSU-MF-MF-1)
• Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-1)
• Splice Boxes (NTD-SB-SB-1)
• External Splice Box (NTD-SB-SB-1)
Applications
The Biotube ProPak is designed to filter and pump effluent to either
gravity or pressurized discharge points. It is intended for use in a septic
tank (one- or two-compartment) and can also be used in a pump tank.
The Biotube ProPak is designed to allow the effluent filter to be removed
for cleaning without the need to remove the pump vault or pump, simpli-
fying servicing.
Complete packages are available for on-demand or timed dosing sys-
tems with flow rates of 20, 30, and 50-gpm (1.3, 1.9, and 3.2 L/sec),
as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

Pump Curves
Pump curves, such as those shown here, can help you determine
the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship
between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure (TDH), providing a graphical
representation of a pump’s performance range. Pumps perform best
at their nominal flow rate, measured in gpm or L/sec.

(1.11 kW) have built-in thermal overload protection, which trips at 203-221˚ F (95-105˚ C).
Using a Pump Curve
A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure
(total dynamic head, or TDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump’s optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
flow rate — the value, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an Orenco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show
optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line. Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line. For the most accurate
pump specification, use Orenco’s PumpSelect™ software.

Introduction
Orenco’s automatic distributing valve assemblies, pressurized with small high-head effluent
pumps, are useful for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially simplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve assem-
bly is used instead of multiple pumps and/or electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
and/or number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution of effluent that occurs at the beginning of a cycle.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Refer to Figure 1 for the following valve operation description. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk 1 to seat against the valve bottom 2.
The opening 3 in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem 4 houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam 5. The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rotate half the distance
necessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, the rubber flap disk is in the “up”
position and is not seated against the valve bottom.

CRITERIA, call Orenco Systems, Inc. at 1-800-348-9843.
The Distributing Valve Assembly
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assembly combines the distributing valve itself and sever-
al other components to give a complete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, and main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly. Because distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow removal and maintenance of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quick, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessary on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section.
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changes in direction. Because of this, headlosses through the valve assembly are fairly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several different assemblies and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equations. Orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize the valve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation. High-head
turbine pumps are also recommended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more
frequent pump cycling. The high-head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will
outlast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high-head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tends to
prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
tion. A minimum flow rate through the distributing valve is required to ensure proper seating of the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various models are given in Table 1.

The Pumping System
Although the distributing valve was designed for the irrigation industry, it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptance in the effluent pumping industry. However, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids from reaching the distributing valve that
may impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube®Pump Vaults — when properly sized and
installed — provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biotube®pump vault
accepts effluent only from the clear zone between a tank’s scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valve has very little chance of reliable long-term operation.
Figure 3:
Automatic distributing valve assembly headloss curves
Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very important
for proper valve operation. The most reliable operation occurs when the valve is placed at the high
point in the system and as close to the pump as possible. The transport line between the pump and
valve should be kept full if possible. If the line is empty at the beginning of each cycle, pockets of
air during filling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is particularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation with empty lines that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately following the
valve and a pressure release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a return line to the dosing tank or to a “minidrainfield” near the valve.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber flap disk to return to its up position. In many cases, it may take from one
minute to several minutes for the pressure in the valve to be lowered enough for proper rotation to
occur. Special care should be taken when installing systems controlled by programmable timers to
ensure cycling does not occur too rapidly. Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the transport line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. If the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, random cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Refer to the Hydrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly for the
sequencing of the valve outlets. The transport line should always be flushed with clean water before
installing the valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during
installation can easily become lodged in the distributing valve, causing malfunction.
With the pump running, alternately close and open the ball valve on the distributing valve assembly
to check proper rotation of the valve. (Note: If check valves are used on the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the pump may need to be turned on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line for indication of which zone is operating.
Maintenance
Annually check for proper operation by following procedures listed in the Hydrotek Valve booklet
and system startup procedures listed above.
Troubleshooting
1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is turned off and then
back on.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that there is no debris inside the cam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam.
SOLUTION 2: If fewer than the maximum number of outlets are being used, check the installation
of the cam. Ensure that the stem and disk assembly is not being held down by an
improperly installed cam. Refer to the cam replacement instructions.

SOLUTION 3: Remove the valve top and check for proper movement of stem and disk assembly.
Check for and remove any debris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
movement of the disk.
SOLUTION 4: Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
SOLUTION 5: Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
SOLUTION 6: The backflow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated line.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table 1.
SOLUTION 2: Remove the valve top and check the inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlets or zones
CAUSE: Pumping into an empty transport line — especially downhill — may cause the valve
to skip outlets from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap disk to raise during a
cycle.
SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full.
SOLUTION 2: If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets from forming.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers on the top of the cam.

Distributing Valves
General
Orenco’s Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanically operated and sequentially redirect the
pump’s flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field. Valve actuation is accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on large sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six-line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
Orenco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conjunction with High-Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube®Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requirements, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ball valve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to maintain and monitor. Ideal
valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to
Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for
more information.

Installing the Chambers and End Caps
1.To allow pressure laterals to drain after each dose, drill a hole in the
bottom of the pipe at the end of the pressure line. Place the snap-off
splash plate or a paving block at the bottom of the trench to protect the
infiltrative surface from erosion.
2.With a hole saw, drill out the
appropriate diameter hole to
accommodate the pressure lat-
eral pipe.
3.Insert the pressure lateral pipe
into the end cap’s drilled opening
and slide it into the manifold
pipe. Glue the pressure lateral
pipe to the manifold pipe.
4. With the pressure lateral pipe through the end cap, place the back
edge of the end cap over the inlet end of the first chamber. Be sure to
line up the locking pins on the top of both the chamber and end cap.
Before You Begin
Quick4 Plus Standard Low Profile (LP) Chambers can only be
installed according to state and/or local regulations. Soil and site
conditions must be approved prior to installation. Conduct a
thorough site evaluation to determine proper sizing and siting of
the system before installation.

These guidelines for construction machinery must be
followed during installation:
Avoid direct contact with chambers when using construction
equipment. Chambers require a 12-inch minimum of compacted cover
to support a wheel load rating of 16,000 lbs/axle or equivalent to an
H-10 AASHTO load rating.
Only drive across the trenches when necessary. Never drive
wheeled machinery over chambers.
Avoid stones larger than 3 inches in diameter in backfill. Remove
stones this size or larger that are in contact with chambers.
5. (Method A)Secure the pres-
sure lateral pipe to the top of the
first chamber with a plastic pipe
strap at the outlet end of the unit.
Slide the strap up through a slot
in the chamber top, down through
the other slot, and cinch the two
ends around the pipe.
6. (Method B)With the holes
pointing up, stabilize the pressure
lateral pipe on the ground to
prevent it from moving.
7. Lift and place the next
chamber onto the previous one at a 45-degree angle. Line up the
chamber end between the connector hook and locking pin at the top of
the first chamber. Lower it to the ground to engage the interlocks.
8. (Method A)Secure the lateral pipe to the top of the next chamber
once in place. Follow the same method in Step 5.
9. Continue interlocking chambers and securing the pipe until the trench
is completed.
10. Before attaching the final end cap, it may be necessary to remove
the tongue of the connector hook on the last chamber with a pair of
pliers depending on your pipe diameter.
11.Insert the pressure lateral
pipe through the hole in the final
end cap and slide the end cap
toward the last chamber. Lift the
end cap over the modified con-
nector hook and push straight
down to secure it to the chamber.
Note: If cleanout extensions are
required, use a hole saw to cut a
hole in the top of the Quick4
Plus All-in-One Endcap so the
pressure lateral pipe with an
elbow can extend to the ground
surface. For cleanout access,
use the “Installing Optional
Inspection Ports” section in the
general installation instructions.
12.If installing multiple rows of
chambers, follow Steps 1-9 to lay
the next row of chambers
parallel to the first. Keep a
minimum separation distance
between each row of chambers
as required by local code.

structural columns. This chamber
can be installed in a 36-inch-wide
trench. It is shorter in height than
Infiltrator’s other Standard model
chambers, allowing for shallower
installation. Like the original line
of Quick4 chambers, it offers
advanced contouring capability with
its Contour Swivel Connection™,
which permits turns up to 15°, right
or left. The Quick4 Plus All-in-One
8 and Quick4 Plus Endcaps provide
increased flexibility in system design
and configurations.

Good afternoon,
After reviewing the design and soil study performed for 95 Blue Creek Trail we noticed that it was noted that there was high gravel content in areas around the
foundation but not around the proposed location for the STA. We believe one additional test pit adjacent to the STA should be performed to confirm the gravel
content of the soil in this area. Are you able to do this so that we can move forward with the permit? We could also condition this in the permit to be performed at
the time of installation. We would like to be notified at this time to observe the test pit and soil content. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Everyone,
We did soils for this property some time ago, although I do remember it well as we were pleasantly surprised that the "soils" were better farther south vs the area
of the foundation was nothing but rock. We did the soil testing with CTL Thompson.
At the time of the original soil test, the rock content section of the regs was not broken out like it is now (although I updated the design more recently). The
challenge of "rock content" for soil in Missouri Heights continues as the calcareous clay matrix is somewhat unique to our area.
That said, there is no machine on site at this time. We are wondering if the permit could be issued with a contingency to further explore the area of the proposed
STA with additional test pits prior to construction of the OWTS. If we were to find consistency with my original findings, the design as documented will work fine.
If we are to find higher rock content in additional pits, we could change the design to bring in 2-3 feet of sand filter material to be placed under the chambers or
other distribution media with the design remaining generally the same size and configuration.
Currently, I have specified 3 beds, each with 2 rows of 10 Q4 chambers for a total of 60 chambers and 720 SQ of infiltrative area. If we simply over-excavated
and placed sand filter material, our LTAR would move from 0.6 gal/SF to 0.8 gal/SF (525 GPD/0.8 = min. 657 SF). We could keep the same 3 beds and would
meet the minimum square footage in the same footprint. If the design were to change to a sand filter, I may opt for a different distribution technology than
chambers, but we could address that with a revised design, should that be necessary.
Let us know your thoughts. Thank you!

That sounds like a good plan. Danielle can condition that in the permit and we will get it sent out.

Claire, Manny, and Brent,
I'm sorry that we are having to take steps backward on this.
Just to recap, I originally was onsite to do the soil investigation on July 28, 2017. The test pit close to the house was
extremely rocky, but farther south we got down to 6-feet, with soils the typical "calcareous clay matrix" which is the white
to tan, fine grained soils. The design choice for this, as with many of the systems I design in Missouri Heights, is to just
scrape the topsoil and get on top of that calcareous clay matrix horizon because once you get into that horizon, that's
where the big Basalt boulders live and they can be all sizes, including sizes that can't be moved or dug out.
I guess we just got "lucky" with our test pit and it wasn't representative enough of overall soils onsite.
Classifying soils as R-1, we need to import 2' min of sand filter material (it's WASHED SAND from WSM, similar to
concrete sand). With this change, we can size on 0.8 gal/SF and the required area is 656.5SF. The current design is
720SF, so we have sufficient SF to meet code requirements.
The footprints will be excavated to the extent possible, placing sand in the excavation and placing the chambers and
distribution laterals on top of the sand. Mounding will be necessary and soil should be imported to cover and regrade
over the beds.
The only other thing we need to verify is the easement to the west to assure we are not encroaching with the change in
the field location.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
